When it comes to world-class racing, riders tend to receive all the glory. However, racing remains a team sport. Without the mechanics, engineers, and data analysts on staff, no rider can expect to fight for victory. Of course, a Team Principal still has to manage all these moving pieces for the team to realize its goals.
It’s those skills that help propel an outfit to the front of the grid, and the Team Principal To Be contest aims to find the next generation of motorsport managers. The competition calls upon participants to submit a Business Case outlining the methods for improving a MotoGP or WSBK team’s financial sustainability and profitability.
